The government works hard, but the efficiency is low: Gagik Makaryan

Many employees of state institutions lack motivation: they do not care about what is happening around them. President of the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia Gagik Makaryan adds, “The government, several ministries or ministers work hard, but the efficiency is low. "To work is not sitting there for 12 hours. The time will come, and I will give the names of the ministers, now I do not want to hurry, but I guess two or three ministries are completely out of place,” Makaryan says.

The laws are changing, but the investment sector has not undergone any particular changes. According to Gagik Makaryan, the government has taken certain steps to improve the business environment, but the general atmosphere and the logic of investments have not changed yet. “The investment fund, which according to the government, will be replenished to $860 million this year, is likely to be implemented; according to my estimates, it can be brought to 600 million. Today, this amount is approximately 350-400 million,” Gagik Makaryan notes. And how these investments will affect the creation of jobs? Details in the program “Paradigm”.
